BS=Bullshit

[Combine 017]

So, I went out tonight, had a fair amount of booze, still had some booze on me and was on the way back home. We were running late so I ran a bit ahead. And when I got to the bus station I saw our bus sitting at its stop. I ran towards the bus hoping to stall it for at least a minute more so we all could board it. As I ran towards it, some cops (probably transit cops) decided to stop me and question my drunkenness. They saw I had some bottles in my hands and took my whiskey and pepsi from me and one of them threatened to write me a $250 ticket if I argued against it. I was not all in for getting a $250 ticket for trying to get to my bus, so I let them take my booze and chase. They continued to ask where I was and what I had been doing, and I told them the truth (been at a friends place playing games and drinking) but they really didnt seem to care. When all was said and done, I started heading towards our bus just as it started driving off. Needless to say, we missed our bus and had to get home by other means.

Yes I was intoxicated, yes I was mad that they took my booze and made me miss the bus home. But were they right in doing so? I think not. All I had done was try to catch a bus.

I was mad that they took my booze, but not as much as when they threatened and stalled me from getting to the bus with a $250 fine. Quite honestly, I think thats bullshit, and if I had the opportunity to get away with it, without any repercussions, I would murder both of those fucking douchebags in a heartbeat.

as most of you do at the end of these things.

/rant

right?

[TheSlyMoogle]

That is some fucking bullshit. Fucking Pigs.

I think there is a law about open liquor in public. I didnt know you could be fined so highly for it though, and it definitely does not justify the bullshit. Its not like I was chugging it as I walked by, I just wanted to get on the bus.

I guess you dont really think about these kind of things until they happen to you. If I saw some cops take another guys stuff id probably laugh at him, but I dont know how that could impact his life. Maybe he just lost his job/house/wife and was on the verge of a mental breakdown and thats all it took to go on a genocidal rampage. Humans a fragile things, and stupid things. Can advanced aliens happen yet?

Adam, there's a few problems with your view of dickishness on this.
The cops weren't being dicks to you or anything.

You admit to being drunk in public. Right there, that's illegal. You're allowed to be drunk in a bar, in a restaurant (within reason), or in your/someone elses house. You're not allowed to transition between places while drunk. You are allowed to BE drunk, you just cant let people SEE that you're drunk.
You admit to having an open(ed) bottle of booze. That too, is also illegal. Either because [from their perspective] A) You were drinking it in public or B) You have intent to drink it in public.

If they wanted to be dicks they would have thrown you in the drunk tank for public intoxication. If they REALLY wanted to be dicks, they'd write you the ticket and then also throw you in the tank.

I know I was doing illegal things, but there are worse people out there than me holding booze wanting to get on a bus. I just wish people could listen to reason, that I could just explain myself and be on my way. They could even have still took my booze cause they do have the right to do that, and that was my bad for having it in visible sight, but having to question me and ID me and shit like that so that I miss my bus was a diskish thing to do. It was sitting right there, 10 feet away. I was obviously running towards it, wtf else would I be running at?

I dont think I mentioned it before but it was the last bus of the night, which is a big chunk of the "im pissed off" part.

Cops generally need to find better things to do than stupid shit like this. Drugs, actual crime, ect.

Well, weren't you breaking the law directly in front of them?
To them you're just some drunk punk kid who thinks he's above the law by walking directly by some cops with open liquor, while being really drunk. Of course they're going to stop you. If you light up a joint in front of a cop he'll totally search you.

but having to question me and ID me and shit like that so that I miss my bus was a diskish thing to do.

You do sort of look underage occasionally .


And i'm not saying you shouldn't be pissed off. I'd be choked if I missed the last bus, too.

I wasnt brandishing liquor out in the open or anything, and I sure as hell wasnt acting drunk running for a bus. Thats why it would be nice to explain to them that im not a punk kid who thinks im above the law. If I was stumbling around shouting around like an idiot then sure, id deserve it, but to them I wasnt doing anything unruly aside from holding a bottle of booze. Until they got closer and probably could tell I was drunk then.

[Typhoid]

Meh. I was just saying that they only stopped you because you were holding a bottle of booze. From there they can then assume you have been drinking from the bottle, and because of your fetus-like appearance probably wanted to double-check that you were at least legally allowed to be drunk in the first place.


So then we arrive back to that bottle of booze you were carrying, and to possibly the most important thing of all: Why the fuck didn't you finish your booze?

Haven't I taught you anything? If you simply manned up, you wouldn't have been caught with a bottle of booze, and stopped by the cops, leading you to miss the last bus.

Next time, drink up.
Jesus, Man.

Leave my fetus like appearance out of this! Besides, I have my sideburn going right now.
And there was half a 26 left, id probably die if a drank it all.

Yes they have guns, but they're not loaded. Mainly just for show.

Do you know this from experience?

[Seth]

I'd like to add a few things.

Weight loss has never been my issue. So the results i've experienced from adjusting my food habits has been considerable, but less visable. Being a vegetarian for life has been great, and I am thankful to my parents for this. However, my eating habits have been awful at times, with high carb, high processed foods and soda taking its toll. Typical dumb teenage years. Anyway, the mental clarity and physical bio-feedback I have experienced while maintaing a healthy diet are almost impossible to express. It is something I recommend to everyone.

Also, I supplement with a methyl B12(make sure it isn't cyanocobaline sp?) as cyano--- is a synthetic cyanide compound that actually leaches B12 from the body. Most supplements of B12 are in this form as it is much cheaper to produce.

Saurcraut makes natural B12.Kimchi and other fermented foods are great additions to any diet. People have issue with soy because of phytoestrogens, but all the studies linking soy to illness have been made on soy isolate products, gmo. Traditional tofu is great, just make sure it is non-gmo. Full of iron and protein. I've been buying a smoked tofu that is sooooo delicious without having to spice cook it more. Natto soy is an indonesian traditional fermented soy food that is also quite delicious. My last bottle of non-radioactive soy sauce is almost gone It's aged 4 years in wooden barrels mmmmmm
some health authorities recommend eating only fermented soy forms...

and something to keep you on track: in the summer season, try eating lots of brocoli, watermelon and green tea. If you consume 4+ cups of GT, and the others, you'll find that it takes quit a bit longer to get a sunburn, and that you will tan much nicer. The most recent studies show that melanoma is actually inhibited through moderate sun exposure, and that genetic qualities such as fair skin and moles are more indicative of developing melanoma.
If the diet is good, skin regenerates and deals with UVB's. By sunscreening the body no longer can produce D3 (vital hormone) and disease becomes unrestrained. The consensus now is that breast cancer is completely preventable if vit D3 levels are high enough. Most commercial sunblocks not only prevent vit D, they permeate carcinogens directly into the bloodstream.

Also, it's good to note that a lot of produce in the supermarkets has been irradiated. The FDA used e.coli excuses to impliment draconian laws on vegetables and nuts. It is nearly impossible to find a californian almond that hasn't been microwaved.

They also went after small owner butchers by requiring expensive inspection fees that large, meat packaging companies can afford. It is the large industry corps that are mostly responsible for bacteria contamination, but this scare has been used to further degrade the family farmer's ability to remain competitive.

My aunt and uncle who live close by in BC have finally retired from the organic farming business. They never made money really. Their melons were always the best tasting and for a long while they had the largest organic carrot farm in BC. My father was part of the generation which saw the move from sustainable farming practices towards mono-crop pesticide bumper crops which require obscene nitrogen spraying. It's disrupting not only the health of consumers, it is destroying the long term viability of the human race. Arguments to the contrary are from deep pocket interests and fully dismissable, despite the pope's (haha) reluctance to outright condemn the use of gmo food crops.
Study after study is showing higher crop yields through rotation and organic fertilization. There are so many ways to reinvigorate depleted soil.


This comes down to the same issue that sparked revolt in 1381. The Peasants' Revolt was of an agricultural nature. Serfdom has been replaced by economic feudalism and we can now identify class disparity through diet and food availability. Organic foods is seen to be elitist, but only because food price suppression, purposefully orchestrated by monolithic corporations, has removed any alternatives to their controlling, free market edition of democracy. Food should never be relegated to commodity because it is directly related to the inalienable rights of an individual to... LIFE. This is where the word conspiracy gets dropped.
